See the 1889 1/2500 map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/428448/461548/12/100392 which is a larger scale.

Birfit appears in the 1861 census as a place-name in Ripley Parish, see RG 9 / 3206 / 10 / 13

Immediately before it are Scarah Moor Farm, Broxholm and Scarah Mill.

You can see all of these places on on this map http://maps.nls.uk/view/100944791#zoom=4&lat=2120&lon=2871&layers=BT

Close you can see Birthwaite (as already suggested). I'd say Burfit and Birthwaite are more than likely one and the same.



so sorry Jen I comletely missed your link, got far too many windows open! what a plantpot...
